If there was any doubt before, it can be erased now. There's a lot of love out there for Phil Mickelson.

In an AL.com poll, readers were presented a list of 10 players and asked to choose which one they would select to fill out a golf foursome. Even with players such as Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer - even Paula Creamer and Lexi Thompson - Mickelson was the overwhelming choice of those who participated in the poll.

Mickelson, who collected a popular win in the recent British Open and starts play today in the World Golf Championship-Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio, received 247 of the 727 votes cast. That's a whopping 33.98 percent of the vote.
